Violet Wings, by Victoria Hanley
Young Adult, 2009
Zaria is an anomaly in Feyland - a Full Violet, Level 100. With her best friend Leona, a half-Violet, Level 200, they visit Earth, break a lot of rules, and in the process uncover a plot by the Forcier herself. But how can they convince everyone they're not guilty when the Forcier has unlimited magic? Maybe not the best summary. It's hard to explain without telling you how all of the magic works.
I'm not usually - well, ever - a fairy kind of person. But I read it because I love Hanley's books. I was pleasantly surprised at the plot-line, and enjoyed the writing and the variety of characters. My only reserve with recommending this book is that it's obviously particularly for a target audience: 10 - 14 year old girls. I wouldn't recommend to anyone else. Graded a B+.
